- Hi, I'm Liz.
and this is Bernie.
I'm a product designer here at Ruffwear,
and I'd like to tell you today about the spring/summer 21
Front Range Day Pack.
The Front Range Day Pack was inspired
by our every day and weekend adventures
when we may be going for a day trip and not stay overnight,
instances where you could go a few miles,
and you may be in the back country,
but you don't really need to carry everything that you would
as though you were on a backpacking trip.
The Front Range Day Pack has a front-loading design,
which keeps a lot of the weight in the saddlebag forward and
up towards your dog's shoulders
and an ergonomic position for a lot of activities.
The Front Range Day Pack is using
the same durable polyester ripstop
that we use on our Front Range Harness.
The Front Range Day Pack features a handle
that's streamlined when you're not using it,
but it's there when you need it.
The Front Range Day Pack features three clip-in points.
We have our stamped aluminum V-ring,
which is the same as what we have
on our Front Range Harness.
We have our engineered webbing tow loop on the back,
and this is the same kind of webbing as what we use on our
front clip-in point on the belly panel,
and this webbing is also featured
on our Front Range Harness.
The Front Range Day Pack uses the same belly panel as what
we have on our Front Range Harness.
This helps with comfort and stability.
We have our polyester webbing,
our three bar adjusters,
and our airlock side-release buckles.
The Front Range Day Pack also features
a flopper stopper strap with a snap,
which allows you to attach the saddlebag
around your girth strap
on the belly panel.
And by doing this,
you're keeping the saddlebag very close to your dog's body
for a snug and secure fit.
The Front Range Day Pack features reflective trim
on the zipper poles here
in our tonal Ruffwear logo.
We have a reflective tonal screen print here,
over your dog's shoulders.
And on our belly panel,
we're using our reflective piping in the same way
that we use it on our Front Range Harness.
And in addition to the reflective treatment
that we have on this product,
we also have a light loop here
that's compatible with our beacon for low-light visibility.
The main body fabric on the Front Range Day pack is a
300 denier polyester ripstop fabric
that's bluesign approved.
This fabric is also used on our Front Range Harness.
The mid-layer of the Front Range Day Pack is made out
of an Adalon foam, which is closed cell,
and it provides comfort and stability.
The inside liner of the Front Range Day Pack is a knit mesh,
and it's same mesh we use on our Front Range Harness.
The zippers that we're using on our saddlebags are
YKK, number five, reverse coil zippers.
These provide a small amount of weatherproofness.
The inside liner that we're using on our saddlebags is a
polyester 200 denier fabric that's PU Coded.
The Front Range Day Pack is a great stand-alone product.
You can also layer it with some
of our performance-fit apparel pieces,
such as the Jet Stream Vest
if you're out in warm temperatures
or the Climate Changer Pullover
if it's a little cold out.
The Front Range Day Pack is going to be offered
in Blue Moon, which is this colorway.
We'll also have it in Aurora Teal and Red Clay.
The Front Range Day Pack will be offered in extra-small,
small, medium, and large, extra-large sizes.
Bernie and I would now like to demonstrate putting on and
taking off the Front Range Day Pack.
You ready, Bernie?
What's great about this belly panel is that
it unclasps on both sides,
which makes getting your dog's head
through the opening very easy.
And then what I'll do is I will clasp the belly panel
with these side-release buckles
on both sides of the pack.
Then, I will snap the flopper stopper strap
around that webbing strap.
And I'll do the same on this side.
I'll take this rear strap,
and I'll bring it around
and attach it to the side-release buckle on this side.
And before we go off,
I'll make sure that this floating belly pad is situated
nicely on Bernie's belly.
Good boy, Bernie.
This is a medium pack,
and Bernie is a pretty true medium Ruffwear dog.
So to take this pack off,
I'll go in reverse.
I will unclasp the rear strap,
and then I will undo the flopper stopper straps.
I will unclasp the side-release buckle,
and then nice and easily,
we'll just take it right over Bernie's head.
Good job, buddy.
Bernie and I recently tested the Front Range Day Pack
out on the trail in the Ochoco's National Forest.
We did about an eight-mile hike,
which was just long enough
that I felt like Bernie needed
to carry some extra water, an extra pair of boots,
some snacks, and some first aid supplies,
but it wasn't so long that he would need the volume that we
have in the Approach Pack.
This product was the perfect solution for that type of hike.
And that's the Front Range Day Pack.
Thanks for watching.
